Help us make the last time on campus for our M-A Seniors as festive and memorable as possible! Unfortunately only graduates and their families can participate in the parade as we will be following the county guidelines for public gatherings. There are still ways that you can congratulate the senior class. Here are things that you can do to help make this fun. All decorations below will be on M-A campus and not public.
Graduation Posters
Get creative and make a colorful poster to congratulate the seniors. We will be collecting posters to put up along the parade route
Photos
Looking for photos over the last year of our graduating seniors. If you don’t have any photos ask your senior if they do. Photos of seniors on campus, engaged in clubs, volunteering, participating in sports, or just hanging out with friends.
Photos of Caps and what are you doing next year
Traditionally students decorate their caps. If your student has done this then we would like a picture of the cap. Or send a picture of what your student is doing next year are they working, traveling or volunteering? Send us a photo of what they are doing next year.
Videos
Send us a quick video congratulating graduates. Since extended family and friends won’t be at graduation get them to send a video. We would also welcome classmates so ask your kids if they want to add a video.
Join in the celebration and decorate your car for the parade. If you need help with decorations we are happy to help out. Just email Taylor Perkins at tayperkins7@gmail.com.
Please upload photos and videos HERE by May 31st to be included in the car parade. Email Taylor Perkins at tayperkins7@gmail.com with any questions.
Please join M-A PTA in supporting our M-A community during COVID-19. As the crisis continues, many of the hardworking families in our community are having trouble meeting basic needs – food, household supplies, baby formula, diapers, and more. While local organizations are struggling to meet the growing demand, we ask our M-A families to join together to help our student’s classmates and neighbors.
M-A PTA will purchase food and basic household supplies to be distributed directly to M-A families through M-A’s Student Support Center. Families can contact Lilly Quinonez at lquinonez@seq.org with their family’s needs. Please join in showing M-A pride and consider a donation that is meaningful for you and your family.

PTA tax-deductible donation – Funds will be used to purchase non-perishable foods and household supplies.
